Get the Covid-🇹🇼 mug.When China’s refusal to acknowledge that Wuhan is ground zero for the coronavirus, and its attempt to conceal the outbreak until whistleblowers leaked out the news to the world, is the root cause for the spread of the virus globally, which has since led to millions of infections and deaths.
Instead of admitting that it failed to warn the world about the coronavirus outbreak, China refuses to bear responsibility for lying and not closing its borders when thousands of its own citizens were already infected and had died from the plague—can the world really blame the West for wanting to label the coronavirus Covid-🇨🇳 instead of Covid-19?

Get the Covid-🇨🇳 mug.A label given to someone who tries to cheat or rob others or the authorities during the coronavirus pandemic—for instance, a bogus law enforcer who catches others who don’t wear a mask, then expects to be bribed so that the victims could avoid paying a hefty fine or being sent to jail.
Thousands of con-19s have emerged from all corners of the globe to prey on the gullible and the superstitious folks.

Get the Con-19 mug.The post-pandemic weapon of choice by underpaid and undervalued workers to paralyze or blackmail their employers, thanks to unions’ demands for higher pay and humane working conditions for these overworked and exhausted (or exploited) workers—their “illegal” actions would force the overpaid bosses or politicians to be on their knees if they won’t play ball.

Get the Strike mug.When Sweden initially adopted a laissez-faire approach to deal with the coronavirus crisis, by not imposing a lockdown, allowing non-essential businesses to operate, and making physical distancing optional, which resulted in a death rate that is five to six times higher than that of its Scandinavian neighbors.
Sweden’s controversial strategy of aiming for herd immunity while imposing few restrictions on its population to contain the Covid-🇸🇪 crisis had turned out to be a social experiment fiasco for its political leaders—its death rate had led its neighbors to keep their borders closed to the Swedish people and products.

Get the Covid-🇸🇪 mug.When someone who has been vaccinated could still be infected and tested positive for the coronavirus for a few common reasons, such as there is a lag between vaccination and protection; the vaccine doesn’t work retroactively; and the vaccine may be ineffective against new variants of the virus.

Get the CoⓋid-19⁺ mug.Read as “Covid-null.” When virologists believe that vaccination for all worldwide would number the days of Covid-19, which would eventually eradicate it from planet Earth—when zero infection and mortality rates globally would be the new “new normal.”
From COVID-0 (when countries have zero infections and deaths) to COVID-Ø (when the entire planet is corona-free), how long would the world have to wait for this viral phase to take place?
